Christian Burchard (the leader of Embryo) sent me a disc of this recording about 10 years ago with the idea that maybe we should release it on our Cosmic Egg label. Basically, my answer was "would love to if a better master existed" to which Christian told me the story of about how this release came about as an "official bootleg" LP issued by the gig organiser to mark the return of Embryo to the venues after 30 years. No mention of the venue or gig organiser that put it out. Seems that Christian has too many things to remember, and as always keeping Embryo alive is always the utmost of his priorities.
Initially then I gave up the idea. No master tape, and certainly this bootleg did not sound release quality on CD. So, a few years later, when I'd become quite proficient at the art of vinyl remastering, I thought I'd give this a go. A boost, slight EQ and enhance to bring out the fine detail, and then several passes through carefully identifying and removing every defect I could find. The results are quite remarkable, I think you'd agree, as good (if not better) than many an official major label live release of the era.
Embryo's "Steig Aus" was my introduction to their music and, although I'd never heard anything like it before, I was instantly hooked. It was my second original Brain LP - a doorway into this whole new world of Krautrock. After that came "Rocksession" another groovy trip from the same crew (Gil Funccius' cover is the inspiration for this CD artwork). So, to be able to release an Embryo album from that era is like a dream come true.

Live '72
by Conrad Schnitzler

supported by 6 fans who also own “Riding”

It's Schnitzler, that's why! These are unreleased (as far as I know) recordings from 1972, and they show his typical style of rhythmic synth music (some ambient, too). One drawback: No liner notes. Still, a great album. dougiezerts
